The whole circumstances of Camilla's accession bode poorly for her getting any kind of high-value collective gift.

We'll have to wait and see. By the time Camilla becomes Queen things may be very different, she has already become so much more accepted than she once was.

I LOVE that necklace, the Durbar necklace it's called. I ordered a copy of it with matching earrings, which I will be getting soon!  8) ;D :)


Where did you order the copy from?

Tampa Bay,

My friend worked from October 1976 to July 1977 - the Silver Jubilee year - when The Queen was very busy with many more appearances than usual.
He worked setting up banquet tables in St. George's Hall and the Waterloo Chamber and serving.  He once was in a hallway when The Queen and her ladies and corgies came toward him to inspect a table in St. George's Hall.  He had to get over against the wall, stand at attention and bow.  She looked at him and smiled.  That was it but he was impressed;  he said to me, "She is The Queen!".....

Great Story!

I have read the Queen was very impressive in person.

Hubby did when he got his gong. We went too. She just radiates majesty. I'm not a slave to royalty but I had a lump in my throat as big as a grapefruit when she walked into the room at Buck Palace (and tears in my eyes too) :)

These ones from Majesty magazine?



Or is there another source?

What gong did he get Kimberly, if you don't mind me asking.  ;) Being in the presence of the Queen I'm sure was very special. I hope one day she comes to my city and I see her in person. She has come here before of course, but I was very young and not very interested in royalty.

Emerald Eyes, yes, those ones because I know Majesty Magazine are reliable posting to Australia because I have ordered some back issues from them before. But there are other sources for copies of the Durbar set - if you search under Durbar necklace I think you will find some other sources. However, all the other sources have the pieces looking exactly the same.

Felicia you will look lovely in that set!! You can't go wrong with some nice jewels - not enough women were them nowadays!! I'm always encouraging my Mum to dorn her jewels.

Now Kim - are you sure the lump in your throat wasn't from the Margarita you were downing ?? ?? I know you!! I'm jealous - would love to see HM!!

Thanks Edmund!  :) :) I love jewelry, all my relatives gave me jewelry for my 21st birthday, unfortunately no diamond tiara as I had requested.  ;)
